Cool camera story

The second part of that story brought back a few memories. Several years ago I found a small camera bag in the woods that contained a camera and some extra stuff in it. This was found in Alabama and I live in Mississippi. Well I took it home and had the film developed and one of the pictures was of some boy scouts in uniform with the troop number and counsel showing. The odds must be extremely high against this happening but that troop was actually from the town I live in in Mississippi and I was able to take it to one of their troop meetings and return it. The man that owned the camera was one of the scout leaders of that troop and was one happy person to get it back. So yes, things like this really do happen. Jeff

wow,, but such dedication, a bit obsessive, but happy ending for the person that lost the camera, closure. One of my cameras almost had that fate, but I dove into the April water (brrrr), and managed to see the blur of the camera strap as it was rushing toward the next water falls.

While on a cruise in Glacier Bay, one of the most pristine places on earth, I leaned over with my camera and my lens cap fell into the bay. Not sure what bothered me most, losing the cap or leaving it at the bottom of this beautiful bay.

laughs,, I cannot tell you the number of lens cap I have lost, dangling over cliffs, leaning over water falls, sometimes I wonder why I take the risk,, I have seen more than one lens cap snap off (with the spare SLR dangling to my side).
